U+3145 "ㅅ" Hangul Letter Sios Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+3145 "ㅅ" Hangul Letter Sios is a component of the Korean writing system, known as Hangul, where it represents the consonant sound /s/ (or a lenis /s̻/ in modern standard Korean). As a distinct Jamo character in Unicode's Hangul Compatibility Jamo block, it is primarily used for historic or educational purposes, such as displaying the individual letters of the Hangul alphabet outside of full syllable blocks. In its typical function within modern Korean orthography, this character appears as the initial or final consonant in syllabic clusters, such as in the word "사" (sa) or "곳" (got), where it maintains a consistent sound value. Its rectangular shape and simple form make it one of the fundamental building blocks for creating thousands of composite Hangul syllables.
